This is the view the US soldiers would have had at the eastern end of Omaha Beach
at Colleville-sur-Mer.
I ‘m making progress Keith Rocco’s diorama. This diorama is also situated at Colleville-sur-Mer like my 75mm diorama, but this one focuses on the beach landing in 1/100th scale. The overall diorama will be 5.5 feet wide by 6 feet deep. The ground scale is about 1/500, while the vertical scale in slightly exaggerated at 1/393. The models in the foreground will be 1/100th scale. There are a few structures on the land side. They might be a smaller than 1/100th scale to better match the ground scale. It will depend on how it looks when we start mocking up that part.
Aerial recon view of this area before the invasion and before the Germans built most of the fortifications.
